Goddess Of Mercy Temple
#travellerswonderland
The Goddess of Mercy Temple in Penang is a place of bustling activity, especially during prayer times. Devotees flock to the temple to offer their prayers, creating a lively atmosphere. During your visit, you might encounter getai performances and what appears to be a competition of incense sticks.
It's fascinating to observe people purchasing the largest sticks or quickly grabbing free ones to burn and place in the urn. The constant flow of worshippers keeps the workers busy, as they diligently empty the urn every two minutes. It's a scene that captures the vibrant spirit and devotion within the temple.
